"Very nice device!
Btw, what would be a stable measurment range of LW20 on full 388 readings/s speed? Or other way - will LW20 be able to measure up to 100m with good reflecting surfaces on the full output rate speed of 388Hz?"

"Should be the most powerful and small consumer lidar ever. Can't wait to test it!
Is there going to be an OEM version (without enclosure) available?"

as Gautier already said, the KroozSD board has an onboard MAX7456 osd which works with the corresponding software module under Paparazzi. It has rather basic functionality, but, as you said, the Paparazzi project is pretty easy to get…"

"Here is an example, how a drone with a lot of sensors does the same exercise:
In most cases the problem is definitely not in the drone."

"What gimbal is on the picture? Looks like a brushless one. Is it already available?"
"Turning the motors during flight is dangerous, it's really possible, that they won't spin up again.
Isn't it a better way to somehow increase the descend speed?"

"Good progress!
Btw, is it a GPS antenna on the top of the rod? What is the actual reason for such antenna placement?"

"Check out this DIY project:
DIY 360 degree realtime outdoor LIDAR
Looks like they use it on up to 10Hz rotation scan rate.
However Lidar Lite sensor availability is still a big question."

"@Gerard, thanks for your comment!
Actually I did a short ~1min take off before my record flight, but 2h10min are still less than 2h12min.
Anyway, the guys done a great job.
But, when it comes to fuel... I think there is much more potential in a…"

As I understand, having deal with linux kernel and driver mods to connect all peripheral and devices needed to fly is much more time consuming and error prone, rather than have a simle singe communication bus to transfer flight/sensor data…"

"Just IMO, the main control (motors, RC) and basic stabilization MUST work on a separate microcontroller which communicate with such Linux based board. First it makes an integration easier (no tricks to conect RC control, PWM outputs), second - it is…"
"What is an actual benefit of having a Linux powered autopilot?"
"I find the RcTimer one of the (if not the one) most efficient motors freely available, considering Power/(Consumption*Weight) ratio. I would even go to 55 mm diameter for probably even more efficiency, but it's even harder development rather than…"
